Satyamev Jayate: Episode 4 on medical malpractice

New Delhi: After female foeticide, child sexual abuse and the dowry system, Aamir Khan focuses on medical malpractice in 'Satyamev Jayate'. Medicine, perceived as a noble profession, have been affected by a section of doctors who have brought corruption to their profession.

Aamir spoke to doctors and victims in the show to brings about instances of medical malpractices.

The viewers were continuously talking about the probable subjects of the fourth episode. So far, the makers of 'Satyamev Jayate' have focused on the topics of female foeticide, child sexual abuse and the tradition of dowry; therefore it seems that the show is going to raise another major issue this time.

The popularity of Aamir Khan's show can be measured from the fact that the makers have now launched an official 'Satyamev Jayate' app for iOS devices such as iPhone, iPad and iPod. This will help the audiences in streaming songs and videos related to 'Satyamev Jayate'.

The official site of 'Satyamev Jayate' also crashed due to the overwhelming response it got after the first show. The reaction to the show was better than the initial expectations. Some state governments such as Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh governments showed the willingness to fight against the ill traditions that are still in practice.

The second episode was equally important as the first one. The data given by Aamir Khan were astonishing as well as alarming. It also made the social workers revisit some of the prominent cases of child sexual abuses happened in the past. This would have prompted them to prepare for the future battle against the demon of child sexual abuse.

Normally, the Indian society doesn't give the problem of dowry much importance despite it being the root cause of several troubles including murders and domestic violence. The case studies were interesting enough to make the audience realise the darkness of the coveted world of domestic violence in the third episode.

Some stories giving the glimpses about the third episode were found in media before the telecast of the third show, but this time the people behind the show seem determined to not reveal anything before 11 AM on May 27.

As per some reports, a group of 30 guards is deputed to make the sets of 'Satyamev Jayate' leak proof.
